Unable to attend the polls or just looking for a more convenient way to vote? You may be eligible for absentee voting. There are several acceptable reasons to vote absentee:
You are 60 years of age or older
You will be absent from the community on election day, while the polls are open
You are not physically able to attend the polls without assistance of another
You can not attend due to religious reasons
You have been appointed as an election inspector, in a precinct that is not your own
You are confined to jail awaiting arraignment or trial
If you identify with one of the reasons listed above you qualify for an absentee ballot. You can vote absentee every election as long as you submit a new application every election cycle.
